![Jah Thomas : Dance on the corner]()
Jah Thomas : Dance on the corner
Toaster Jah Thomas began his career on the west Kingston sound systems of the mid-1970s, making a massive splash with 'Midnight Rock' in 1976. After a debut LP for Channel One, his self-produced 'Dance On The Corner' raised the bar several levels. Voiced at King Tubby's studio, mixed by Tubby, Jammy and Scientist and edited by the King himself, the album has Thomas chatting over hard Roots Radics rhythms earlier used by Barrington Levy - the perfect platform for Thomas' relaxed chants, vexed rants, and commentaries on Jamaican life. This is Jah Thomas at his best - a must for all fans of reggae, dub, deejay, and dancehall!

Jah Thomas : Dance hall connection
Deejay Jah Thomas was one of the creative figures making a dramatic impact on the Kingston sound system scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the rhythms he laid at Channel One studio with the Roots Radics helping to steer reggae towards the emerging dancehall style. Voicing and mixing his work at King Tubby's studio, typically with the young upstart engineer known as Scientist, Thomas got his start as a quick-witted deejay in the vibrant sound system scene of western Kingston, making his recording debut in 1976 with 'Midnight Rock,' a hit that became the name of his record label, once he shifted to producing his own work. 'Dance Hall Connection,' which first surfaced in 1983, is easily one of his best LPs, Thomas ably riding the rough Radics rhythms with style. The title track is a variant of the 'Boneman Connection' theme that references dancehall's grounding in sound system culture, 'Friday Night Jamboree' salutes the music's potent allure on a top cut of the 'Entertainment' rhythm, and 'Let Him In' implores the gateman to allow an impoverished dreadlocks into the dance; 'Nigger Skank' warns against wrongdoers, 'Joker Smoker' pokes fun at those who can't handle their herb, and 'Living In Jamaica' describes various aspects of lifestyle on the island. Elsewhere, Thomas enters boasting territory on 'Cool Profile,' disses combative women on 'Jealous,' recounts his girlfriend's dubious antics on 'Gal A Laugh' and implores another not to forget him once she emigrates. Flash it, Jah Thomas! This is musical murder!

![Johnson, Anthony : Togetherness]()
Johnson, Anthony : Togetherness
Dynamic dancehall singer Anthony Johnson began his career in the mid-1970s, cutting a few sides for Channel One before he joined the group Mystic I who cut some great work for Lee Perry and Linval Thompson before disbanding, leading to the hit material Johnson cut for Jah Thomas as a solo singer. 'Togetherness' dates from 1993, when Johnson was long based in London, but his singing kills remained on par as in his heyday, the album a mix of ballads, pop adaptations and songs of dancehall appeal, the soave production values and one-off vocal style making it popular in Brazil and other territories. A lost gem, ripe for rediscovery!SIDE 1:1. She's Faced The Hardest Time2. Just To Be Close To You3. Original Roll Call4. External Fire5. GoodbyeSIDE 2:1. Suspicious Minds2. Sweet Inspiration3.
